Fresh Spring Rolls with Shrimp

I love fresh spring rolls, but they are rather expensive to buy readymade, so I made my own. I can't remember the shock I felt when I tried shiso leaves in them...it was a great match. Since then I've always used shiso leaves in these.

The shiso leaves make a big difference, so I definitely recommending including them.
The other vegetables can be anything you like. Try out your favorites. You can use canned tuna or ham etc. instead of the shrimp.
The last important part of the recipe is the rolling. Just try it several times to get a feel for it. For 7 rolls. Recipe by rinsora705
